Shirley

There was a time when Shirley was young
She was young all of the time
That was when there was reason and rhyme
That was when she would smile
There was a time when shirley was fun
She was fun all of the time
That was when there was reason and rhyme
That was when she would smile
But Shirley was gone
And the thought of her stays on and on and
We lived in a wonderland
A land where the sun and the wonder ran
Where the days were crystalline clear
That was when she was there
We lived in a castle of mirrors that
Reflected perfection when she was near
We would lie, oh side by side
And whisper low and softly sigh
But Shirley was gone
And the thought of her stays on and on and
Oh no you can’t do that
Curiosity killed the cat
And reasons are a terrible lie
I only know that she has died
Shirley was dead
With her mad man’s knot 'round her neck
Now I spend my time with thoughts of life being mine
Now I spend my time with thoughts of life being mine
Tell Shirley I love her
But she’ll never know
Tell Shirley I miss her
And I need her so
